I'm launching Aridelle on Thursday, and I'd like to ask something before I do.
Aridelle came out of watching someone close to me go through a family conflict. What struck me was not that they lacked evidence. They had it all: the texts, the letters, the dates. It was scattered across two phones, a drawer and their own memory, and every time they had to explain what had happened, they rebuilt the whole story from scratch.
So I built a private case file: you log a fact with its date, attach the documents that back it up, and you can ask an AI assistant about your own file, deciding item by item what it is allowed to read.
Here is what I'm unsure about, and where I'd rather hear from you than guess.
Hi everyone
I'm Eric, solo developer, based in Lyon, France.
I built Aridelle after watching someone close to me go through a family conflict. They had everything they needed: the texts, the letters, the dates. All of it scattered across two phones, a drawer and their own memory. Every single time they had to explain what had happened, they had to rebuild the whole story from scratch.
Aridelle is a private notebook for exactly that. You log a fact with its date, you attach the documents that back it up, and you can ask an AI assistant about your own file. You decide, item by item, what the assistant is allowed to read, and "never" is one of the options.
The part I use the most: once a fact is logged, you ask what to do about it. Sometimes the answer is nothing, and it says so. Sometimes it is two registered letters to two different bodies, and it drafts both of them for you, ready to print and post, or to open in your mail app.
Two things I would rather say upfront than have you find out:
Keeping your file is free, with no time limit and no card. The AI is the paid part, 12 EUR a month. I built it that way because the people who need this the most are usually the ones who cannot afford a lawyer.
It is not legal advice, and it says so. French law reserves that to regulated professionals. The assistant gives documented information and points you to a lawyer, a point-justice or legal aid.
The legal guides cover French family law for now, though the interface is in 16 languages and the assistant adapts to your country.
I would rather hear what is missing than what is nice. Ask me anything.
